Farmers in some parts of the state
are cutting their corn for feed, to save
it from the chinch bugs. As yet
they have not attacked the corn in this
locality. and We trust they NAV let this
crop 60 unmolested. They have damaged
considerable small grain for US. but have
not made so clean q sweep of it as in
many other localities.
We hear of q farmer near Rochester,
making war on the pesky chinch bug
with kerosene. Chinch bugs are becom-

thing should be done to destroy the
vermiu. If the kerosene should fail, let
something else be tried. Better to make
an effort, than to sit idly by and see
the pests destroy everything.

been fifty or sixty in attendance. Come
again boys.
